With every big world event, or over-popular television show, comes a spike in the interactivity between the Twitter users. A spike large enough to cause twitter to become unresponsive and unable to do what the sponsors want: Advertisement, be it from the users who follow the commands of the television shows who request that you use a hash-tag, or the paid-for tweets by companies.
